I have the following class:
package some.clazz.client;
import some.clazz.SomeClass;
public class SomeClassClient {
...
public SomeClass getProc();
...
}
I've removed/shrunk/deleted this getProc() Java method from SomeClassClient class bytecode
by using new MemberRemoval().stripMethods(ElementMatcher); ByteBuddy transformation
in net.bytebuddy:byte-buddy-maven-plugin Maven Plugin.
But import some.clazz.SomeClass; statement is still present and shown by CFR Java Decompiler!
There are no any another reference to SomeClass class in SomeClassClient class.
How can I remove this import statement from bytecode (really I'm assuming it's located in constant pool)? Because I'm still getting ClassNotFoundException when trying to use 'SomeClassClient' class.
My class
public class MethodsRemover implements net.bytebuddy.build.Plugin {
...
@Override
public DynamicType.Builder<?> apply(DynamicType.Builder<?> builder,
TypeDescription typeDescription,
ClassFileLocator classFileLocator) {
try{
return builder.visit(new MemberRemoval().stripMethods(
ElementMatchers.any().and(
isAnnotatedWith(Transient.class)
.and(
t -> {
log.info(
"ByteBuddy transforming class: {}, strip method: {}",
typeDescription.getName(),
t
);
return true;
}
)
).or(
target -> Arrays.stream(STRIP_METHODS).anyMatch(
m -> {
Class<?> methodReturnType = getMethodReturnType(m);
String methodName = getMethodName(m);
Class<?>[] methodParameters = getMethodParameters(m);
return
isPublic()
.and(returns(
isVoid(methodReturnType)
? is(TypeDescription.VOID)
: isSubTypeOf(methodReturnType)
))
.and(named(methodName))
.and(isNoParams(m)
? takesNoArguments()
: takesArguments(methodParameters)
)
.and(t -> {
log.info(
"ByteBuddy transforming class: {}, strip method: {}",
typeDescription.getName(),
t
);
return true;
}).matches(target)
;
}
)
)
));
...
}
I've added the following EntryPoint and configured it in bytebuddy plugin to use:
public static class EntryPoint implements net.bytebuddy.build.EntryPoint {
private net.bytebuddy.build.EntryPoint typeStrategyEntryPoint = Default.REDEFINE;
public EntryPoint() {
}
public EntryPoint(net.bytebuddy.build.EntryPoint typeStrategyEntryPoint) {
this.typeStrategyEntryPoint = typeStrategyEntryPoint;
}
@Override
public ByteBuddy byteBuddy(ClassFileVersion classFileVersion) {
return typeStrategyEntryPoint
.byteBuddy(classFileVersion)
.with(ClassWriterStrategy.Default.CONSTANT_POOL_DISCARDING)
.ignore(none()); // Traverse through all (include synthetic) methods of type
}
@Override
public DynamicType.Builder<?> transform(TypeDescription typeDescription,
ByteBuddy byteBuddy,
ClassFileLocator classFileLocator,
MethodNameTransformer methodNameTransformer) {
return typeStrategyEntryPoint
.transform(typeDescription, byteBuddy, classFileLocator, methodNameTransformer);
}
}
